Why it is in the afternoon?
This afternoon event gives everyone plenty of Geocaching time before the event to grab those caches on the drive across Tamborine Mountain, and enough daylight after, to grab the ones you missed on the way back home.
The location is Guanamba Park, near the Golf course. There is car parking along 2 sides of the park.We will be there early to secure a good spot for everyone.The area is suitable for wheelchairs and prams to gain access to where we will be.
We will supply some baked goods for afternoon tea to recharge the batteries, there is a takeaway nearby for those wishing to buy their lunch/coffee on the way in.
What we will be doing?
The geokids can enjoy some bubble blowing fun!
You can make your very own pet rock to take home!
There will be a group photo at 2pm
The playground is lots of fun and is well away from the road. (see photos)
Lots of stories and general chatter about all things Geocaching.
We will have a few "Lucky Attendance" prizes!
We will have "The Last Lolly" morale box!
(this is a box full of lollies that is shared during the event, whoever eats "the last lolly" is allowed to keep the container and hide it as a cache anywhere they like!)
Tamborine Mountain is dog friendly, just be sure to keep them on a leash and under control.
Please be aware that the National Park areas of the mountain do NOT permit dogs, so plan your geocaching accordingly.
